The Contest.
I'm doing that music contest I mentioned.
I'm torn between which theme to go with.
On the one hand, I have Musing, which is a working title. My teacher said it makes him think of Middle Earth; it has a Celtic thing going on, but it's got some swirly, watery sounding synths and distortion. Crappy explanation, but. Basically, think of Irish mythology; a serene night; Stone Henge. With synths.
And then there's Doctor Tungsten's Orchestrion Abomination, which is meant to be like... this, sort of, though unfortunately without vocals (against the contest guidelines).
I need to pick one and stick with it. Which?

There are two contests... but I need to pick which one to do for the March 12th one soon.

Also, while I'm linking you guys to vids, this is what the full orchestra (of which I'm a part- on bassoon, not bari sax) is playing for NYSSMA this year. I'm a little frightened >_> but so far, so good.

You don't see what you possess, a beauty calm and clear
It floods the sky and blurs the darkness like a chandelier
All the light that you possess is skewed by lakes and seas
The shattered surface, so imperfect,
is all that you believe


Are you equally as versed in both songs, are does one need more work than the other? And which do you like better?

Oh, I like that! You get a solo, right? ; D


I will bring a mirror, so silver, so exact
So precise and so pristine, a perfect pane of glass
I will set the mirror up to face the blackened sky

You will see your beauty every moment that you rise

The Orchestrion Abomination needs more work, but I have a lot of ideas and can get a good bit of it done easily. I'm comfortable with both styles; I've written pieces in both before.
I don't have a favorite P: it's one of those things where I'm like "I like Musing better. ...no, I like Orchestrion. Um. Maybe not?" Every five minutes.

Haha, I have two solos in another piece... but I'm not sure about this one. I think I get a small one somewhere... but we're only like 1/3 of the way through yet.
